Lamborghini's crazy 1,000 hp V12 Hybrid engine details explained

Italian supercar manufacturer Lamborghini today revealed the details of its next-generation supercar. Code named LB744 will be Aventador’s successor and will feature a 6.5-litre V12 engine paired with 3 electric motors.
Yes, you read that right, there were a lot of speculations going on that the Lamborghini will kill the V12 due to strict emissions regulations.The next generation supercar from Lamborghini will get a new V12 put together with three electric motors producing close to 1000 hp of power. The supercar is set to be revealed completely by the end of March 2023.

The new V12 is lighter than the one in the Aventador. Lamborghini revealed that the new engine weighs 218kg, 17kg less than the Aventador’s V12. This V12 will be the lightest and most powerful Lamborghini production V12 producing 814bhp at 9250rpm and 726 Nm of torque. Combining the engine with three electric motors, one mounted in the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and two mounted on the front axle, the combined power output will be 1,015CV. Lamborghini also said that the new V12 emits 30% fewer CO2 emissions than the Aventador Ultimae's V12.

The electric motors will be powered by a 3.8kWh lithium-ion battery placed within the transmission tunnel. This helps to keep the car’s centre of gravity as low as possible. The battery pack can be charged via a 7kW charger which takes about 30 minutes to completely charge the battery from 0-100%. Lamborghini also revealed that the battery can be charged by a combination of regenerative braking and the petrol engine which takes as little as six minutes.

Lamborghini claims that the electric motors are capable of producing 350 Nm of instant torque which boosts low-end performance. This will allow the new V12 to reach from 0-100 kmph within 2.5 seconds. The next-generation supercar can also run in pure electric mode. Considering the small 3.8 kWh battery pack, we expect the range to be less than 10-12 km.

Lamborghini says that the new V12 is rotated by 180 degrees. The new engine will also get a newly developed 8-speed dual-clutch transmission which weighs in at 193 kg and is said to offer quicker shifts than the previous-gen DSG. The new V12 is rotated by 180 degrees and the transmission is mounted behind the V12. This frees up the space in the traditional tunnel zone to place the 3.8 kWh battery pack which powers up the three electric motors.
